Greetings-
Many of you know that James Chestnut MS DC CCWP has written four great books concerning evidence based wellness care (showing the scientific literature that supports wellness care for health and well being). Dr. Chestnut's work is excellent!!! I wish that everyone had the oppurtunity to learn this empowering information.
It boils down to these simple truths. The state or level of health we experience depends on the state or level of health of the cell. (The cells in our bodies are the basic unit of life. Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up systems). When our cells are healthy we experience health.
The question is then, what makes our cells healthy and what makes them unhealthy? In his books, James clearly answers this question. I will summarize it: Purity and Sufficiency is what makes the cells healthy...Toxicity and Deficiency is what makes the cells unhealthy. Interestingly enough, genetics is not responsible for the chronic degenerative diseases mostly all Americans face today. Yes, genetics is not responsible for the epidemic of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Yes, once again let me repeat...do I need to go on. I urge people to attend my seminars or read Dr. Chestnut's books, because the general public is being dangerously misinformed!!!
Genetic disorders do exist i.e.: Downs Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, and Hemophelia are examples of genetic disorders because everytime someone has that genetic makeup they get the disorder. A million times out of a million. Perhaps I will write more sometime about Epigenetics, genomes, phenotypes and gene expression, however for now let us get back to eating well, moving well and thinking well.
The key to being more healthy is to focus on adding more purity and sufficiency into your life in respect to how you eat, move, and think. Focusing on eating well, moving well, and thinking well will create higher levels of health. You can start by adding raw organic fruits and vegetables into your meals, moving your body with whole body movements (walking, swimming, cycling, yoga, pilates, tai chi), and thinking loving thoughts of spiritual connection will create more health in your cells, thus make you a healthier you. Part of moving well is having a spine that moves well, and seeing a chiropractor regularly is paramount for the health of your cells!!!
As far as the toxicity and deficiency issue goes, follow this recommendation: the more purity and sufficiency you add (good stuff) the less toxicity and deficiency you will crave and accumulate (the bad stuff). Literally, focusing on adding the good stuff rather than worrying about the bad stuff. In addition to focusing on the good stuff it would be wise to detoxify and cleanse the body on a regular basis (toxins accumulate through time). There are many ways to do this, and maybe that will be a blog for another day. For simplicity sake, I would suggest having a raw day or two or three (or 30 days...see www.rawfor30days.com ) in which you would have only raw fruits and vegetables (locally grown organic is best, if possible). Another simple way to get the body to start detoxifying and cleansing is to use alkalized ionized water ( www.newlifewater.info ).
I hope that this motivates you to implement more purity and sufficiency into your life and/or encourages you to read up on this information and learn more.
If you are a science minded individual and want to study this information and/or if you are a skeptic and need the science to feel ok with putting your trust into it, then I suggest you buy and read Dr. Chestnut's books, or attend one of my seminars, or start with these references: Eaton, S. Boyd MD & Konner, M. PhD. Paleolithic Nutrition: A consideration of its nature and implications. 1985: N. England Jounal of Medicine Vol: 312. Boothe et al.

Thanks for the great info...i have implemented most of what you suggest here...i now eat mostly raw and when it is time to socialize around food, i have a great time knowing one bad meal won't kill me....it is great instead of being uptight about food all of the time....i focus more on the good stuff i am putting in my body....i eat to live and feel satisfied when i put good things in my body...the focus is not on weight any more....it is on what is good for my body.....
thanks again Dr. Scott.....may many implement and be set free.....
Thank you for the info and the inspiration of remember that very simply, we are what we eat. If we try and think about everythign that we put in our mouth should be something important to the body then we think more about exactly what we are putting in our mouth instead of it just tasting good. I just recently got diagnosed with osteoporosis, whcih is so weird at 46 and also eating and excorising at least 3 or 4 times better then the average amercian. But now i really think everyday getting as much calcium and Vit D and now a nice tall glasss of almond milk is incredably satisfying and i crave it and look forward to my yogurt every morning and cottage cheese etc etc. It's the same as we are what we think ... every thought counts !!
Radaint Blessings of joy n laughter to alll
